LOOP collective RSVP

Monthly · in person · open floor

We meet once a month to build things out loud.

LOOP COLLECTIVE is a meetup for developers, designers and makers shipping side projects in public. Two short talks, two live demos, and a long open floor. Come with a half-finished idea; leave with three new collaborators.

What it's about

A room for people mid-build.

Most meetups are a wall of slides and a polished launch. LOOP is the opposite: we want the half-finished, the slightly-broken, the "I have no idea if this works yet". Bring a screen and a question. The point is momentum — you leave with feedback, a few new people who get what you're doing, and a reason to come back next month and show what changed.

Ground rules

Code of conduct

Everyone — speakers, organizers, first-timers — agrees to this by showing up. It exists so the open floor stays open to everybody.

  • Be kind. Assume good faith. People are mid-learning.
  • No harassment, slurs, or unwelcome attention — zero tolerance.
  • Respect "no" the first time, online and in the room.
  • Give feedback on the work, not the person.

LOOP COLLECTIVE is dedicated to a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, identity, orientation, disability, appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment in any form.

Harassment includes offensive comments, deliberate intimidation, stalking, unwanted photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks, and unwelcome attention. Participants asked to stop any such behaviour are expected to comply immediately.

If you experience or witness a problem, find any organizer wearing a crew badge, or message the code-of-conduct contact in the chat. We will help you and act — including removing offenders without a refund (it's free anyway) and reporting to venue staff or authorities if warranted.
